[Docket No. NJ21-8-000]


City of Azusa, California; Notice of Petition for Declaratory 
Order

    Take notice that on December 23, 2020, pursuant to Rules 205 and 
207 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 
385.205, 385.207, and consistent with the provisions of the 
Transmission Owner (TO) Tariff, the City of Azusa, California (Azusa), 
submitted a petition for a declaratory order requesting that the 
Commission (1) accepting Azusa's annual revisions to its Transmission 
Revenue Balancing Account Adjustment (TRBAA); (2) approving Azusa's 
annual update to the costs of its Existing Transmission Contract (ETC) 
with Southern California Edison Company for purposes of recovery of 
such costs through the ETC Pass-Through Clause contained in Azusa's TO 
Tariff; (3) accepting revisions to Appendix I to Azusa's TO Tariff to 
reflect Azusa's revised TRBAA, ETC costs, and updated Base and High 
Voltage Transmission Revenue Requirements (TRR); \1\ (4) to the extent 
necessary, waiving the sixty-day notice requirement provided for in the 
Commission's regulations at 18 CFR 35.3(a); (5) waiving the filing fee 
associated with this Petition that is provided for by Rule 207 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207; and (6) 
granting any other relief or waivers necessary or appropriate for 
approval and implementation of the revisions to Azusa's Base TRR 
(including the updated ETC cost components), TRBAA, High Voltage TRR, 
and modifications to Azusa's TO Tariff effective as of January 1, 
2021,\2\ as more fully explained in the petition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Azusa's High Voltage Base TRR reflects two separately-stated 
ETC cost components, including an annually-updated forecast of 
Azusa's ETC costs for the upcoming calendar year and an annually 
updated true-up of Azusa's ETC costs for a prior twelve-month 
period. The High Voltage TRR consists of the High Voltage Base TRR 
plus the High Voltage TRBAA, which can be either positive or 
negative.
    \2\ Azusa is a municipal electric utility that is not subject to 
the jurisdiction of the Commission under Sections 205 and 206 of the 
Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824d and 824e (2018). Azusa became a 
Participating Transmission Owner (``Participating TO'') in the 
California Independent System Operator Corporation (``CAISO'') as of 
January 1, 2003. Without waiving any rights relating to its 
jurisdictional status, Azusa submits this filing to the Commission, 
as it previously submitted its TO Tariff in Docket Nos. EL03-14-000 
and ER12-489-000, for the purpose of permitting the Commission to 
review the justness and reasonableness of the CAISO's tariff 
charges, which include Azusa's TRR as well as the TRRs of other non-
jurisdictional and jurisdictional Participating TOs.
